Is the creator and sustainer of all things. He is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being wisdom power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth. There are three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory.

The Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, was born of the virgin Mary, without sin. He lived a perfect life and offered Himself as a substitutionary sacrifice to pay for the sins of those who believe in Him. He was crucified, dead, and was buried. He rose again on the third day and is seated at the right hand of God the Father and will return to judge the earth at the last day.

Is alive and working in the world and in His people. He convinces men of sin and works faith in them thereby uniting them to Christ.

Is the infallible, inerrant, Word of God. It is our only rule for faith and life. It is profitable for teaching, correcting, and training in righteousness and is able to make one wise unto salvation.

Are created in the image of God. Because of our sin, we are separated from God and are unable to offer anything pleasing to Him. Only by God’s saving grace can men and women be in a right relationship with Him.

Consists of all those who have faith in Jesus Christ. God has one people and the story of the Bible is the story of God redeeming His people for Himself.

Will, at their death, be made perfectly blessed in the full enjoying of God to all eternity. Those that do not have faith in Christ will also live eternally, out of the presence of God and enduring the pains of Hell forever.

This means that we take our stand with all those who believe in what used to be called “the fundamentals”: the existence of the triune God, the deity of Jesus, the virgin birth, the substitutionary & vicarious atonement of Christ, the physical resurrection of Christ, the sure return of Christ, and the infallibility & divine authority of the Bible. We joyfully affirm our unity with those from every tradition and denomination who hold to those fundamentals, including those true believers in Christ who, for whatever reasons, find themselves members of denominations or churches with which we might have certain disagreements.

We take seriously the Great Commission, “Go and make disciples of all nations.” Without compromising the sovereignty of God, we affirm the responsibility of each person to repent and believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord & our responsibility to extend the Gospel invitation as a call to salvation to everyone who hears its message. We invite all, without distinction, to drink freely of the water of life and to live eternally.

We believe that the reformed faith is biblical faith. Reformed distinctives include the sovereignty of God in His creation, providence and election of believers apart from any merit of their own; the irresistible grace of God provided for and preceding the faith of the individual; the sufficiency of God’s grace apart from which man is dead in sin and wholly defiled in all his faculties of soul and body; the efficacy of Christ’s death for all those who believe in Him by grace; the safe-guarding of all those for whom Christ died for eternity. We seek to hold to our reformed convictions humbly, recognizing the sincerity and earnestness of godly men and women who hold other positions.

This means that we have a written confession of faith, which we believe to be a good and accurate summary of the Bible’s teaching. Our confession consists of the Westminster Confession of Faith & the Larger & Shorter Catechisms.

To say we are covenantal means we believe that the unifying principle of the Scriptures is the one covenant of grace that God made with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and finally, and most importantly, finds fulfillment in Jesus Christ. To speak of the unity of the covenants means that there is one way and one way only to salvation in both the Old and New Testaments – that is, by faith alone in Christ alone.

We believe that the Kingdom of God is not only a future hope but is also a present reality. We believe that the ascension of Jesus Christ means that He is presently reigning from Heaven & therefore we are called upon to honor and obey Him in every area of our personal lives & to plant the banner of Christ’s Kingdom rule in every area of human endeavor.

This word refers to our form of governance. We believe that the most clear biblical pattern is for churches to be governed by presbyters (elders) who rule jointly in what are called “church courts”; sessions, presbyteries, and the General Assembly.
